What an amazing and bold story!
This wasn't made just for entertainment, it's a fictional story built on real, ongoing issues that many people face every day.
Filmed in the city of Okinawa, home to one of the largest U.S. military bases in Asia, the drama follows Omine Sakura, a Black-Japanese woman who claims she was raped by a U.S. soldier. Komatsu Kie, a magazine writer, travels to Okinawa to interview her. As the story unfolds, so does the complex and painful truth.
This drama addresses much more than rape, sexual assault, and victim-blaming. It also explores PTSD, racism, sexism, prejudice, the tension caused by military presence, and the daily struggles of women living there.
At its heart are strong female protagonists and side characters who confront both internal and external battles, often in silence, but with unwavering strength.
The drama may not be perfect, but it is undeniably bold, important, and necessary.
